Pacific voyagers’ remarkable environmental knowledge allowed for long-distance navigation without Western technology
Looking to the stars is an important part of how Pacific voyagers navigate. But deep knowledge of ocean currents, winds and waves, along with mental mapping strategies, are critical too.

Kind of fitting I woke up puking today from dysregulated long Covid dysautonomia, considering today is exactly five years from when I first started puking from covid. Way back then it wasn’t even considered a Covid symptom. When I called the ER they told me to stay home

I have more than one covid cautious comrade who got covid while in the hospital for an emergency bc the staff wouldn't mask
I’ll never understand why we’ve accepted hosptial acquired covid as inevitable.
Why people are resigned to the fact that if they go in for care, they will likely catch covid.
It doesn’t have to be inevitable. We shouldn’t be complacent about a 10% mortality rate. We can do more.

I have heard it said
that when speaking of bird flu
one should refer to it
not as bird flu but as
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza
as the HP in HPAI
makes the danger clearer,
and while on that topic
it is worth remembering
that the S
in SARS-CoV-2
stands for “Severe.”
